This is where the US Federal Gov should step in. But the pols are too busy counting donations (bribes) from these companies.
If I buy digital content, I should be able to download it on removal media and use it off-line (esp. in the case with movies/music). I should be able to sell it (which is still legal). But these companies want you to "rent" instead of own.
So I never buy digital anything. No wonder many people head to pirate bay because of the rights they loose.
I hope the US Gov (and other govs) wake up to this, but as always donations (bribes) trumps people's rights all the time. (no pun intended).
